Twentieth Century Fox filed a suit against Warner Brothers a while back. Fox apparently bought the rights to a Watchmen movie back in the 80’s, meaning that Warner Brothers basically is trying to distribute a movie they don’t legally own the rights to. Yesterday, a judge ruled in favor of Fox - so who knows [...]
I find it quite interesting to see all my childhood memories re-imagined and rebooted before my very eyes - sometimes for good, sometimes for worse. Film makers certainly have access to better CGI and effects technology than they did two decades ago, but does enhanced CGI make for a better flick? (No, says George Lucas.) [...]
My place of employment is generous enough to allow me a decent amount of personal days a year. I usually spend these days the way any other sane individual would: by catching the earliest possible flick at the local theater, in order to avoid the masses of individuals who are not nearly as amused by [...]
I can deal with X-men movies. Or Spider-man movies. But then they start doing the Punisher. And then the Watchmen. And then Y: The Last Man. And now the fucking Preacher.
Jessie Custer would be fucking pissed.
As it stands, I’ve only a handful of graphic novels left untouched by hollywood’s greedy fucking hands. FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Hopefully the movie is good. The trailers look brutally awesome, and I’m hoping it retains an “R” rating.
Lets face it, the movie will probably suck, as well as destroy my precious memories of the film noir game. But /film’s preview images don’t look that bad. I’ll be more interested to see if they fuck up the story, or if Mark even pulls off a convincing Max Payne.
ps mila kunis is hot lol!

“Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, [...]
Apparently it will be sci-fi.
Firstshowing.net got a look at 26 minutes of the Watchmen movie - and apparently it’s not “bad”. The flick runs 2 hours and 43 Minutes.
I guess I’m kinda excited to see it, but I still don’t want it to suck huge ass and taint the memories of Alan Moore’s masterpiece.
De Niro will be playing the part of Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran - one of the dudes that was supposedly involved in the death of Jimmy Hoffa.
Hopefully it’s better than Righteous Kill….
